Taking a scroll through the sub and I'm noticing that I havent seen a single post about the LR5, only LR4 issues and praises.
Is the LR5 so new that barely anyone has it? Is the LR4 just better so everyone has it?
I don't have a robothrone yet for my cats, but I would like to know which one is more worth getting.
LR5 changes make it easier to clean, maybe dealing with them ironing out some bugs here and there.
Huel is cheaping out on ingredients and quality since they sold. What other company has good quality meal replacement drinks?
Hello, I recently got a Nexus Letter for mental health from a psychiatrist, but when I asked to go over a DBQ, they ghosted me and I haven’t heard back in 3-4 weeks.
I got denied for not having an active diagnosis, and now I have a nexus letter that clearly states a DSM 5 diagnosis and am currently seeing a therapist who is not qualified to fill out the DBQ.
My question is: Do I absolutely need the DBQ to get a rating for mental health, or will the nexus be enough?
Obviously, a DBQ would strengthen my case, but my uncertainty lies in if it’s 100% necessary.
Anyone have a good neurologist who will do a Nexus/DBQ for migraines? None of my local neurologists will do stuff dealing with the VA.
I’m putting together more evidence for a supplemental claim, so I can’t use a company that only deals with new claims.
Hello! I got my wife and I Ozark Trail G1 gravel bikes and we want to customize them. I’ve thought about wrapping it in something like drop bar wrap but bigger, stripping it down and spray painting it and using a 2k clear coat, and my wife is wanting to sticker bomb hers. I don’t have any experience with building or breaking down a bike so that option is a bit sketchy for me lol
How would you recolor your bike or change the look?
Which deal would you go with? I’m new to cycling and need something to show me my Strava route so I don’t get lost.
Used Edge 830: $150(might be able to negotiate a bit)
New Edge 840: $385(Retail: $450)
Hello! I am extremely fair skinned, so even in the Texas heat, I need long sleeve and pant versions of things instead of t shirts and shorts.
Currently in my cart I have a Bikewa long sleeve half zip jersey

And a Przewalski pant option

I don’t think the bib covers my legs entirely, and their bibs that go to the ankles are all thermal and would kill me in this climate.
What other options are there that may be more breathable or perhaps designed for vampires?
Hello! I’m looking for a bike rack for 2 30lbs gravel bikes. I’ve been looking at the 1UP Quik Rack, is the one handed upgrade worth it? With the add on for another bike the total is $800+, is that a good price for a nice double bike rack?
Looking for good alternatives and suggestions that are sturdy!
Any type or brand of bottle holders to stay away from? Any specific holders you’d recommend?
What bottle fits well in your preferred holder?
Thanks all, there’s a lot of choices and I don’t know which ones will snap in a week or which ones will last the lifetime of the bike.
Ozark Trail G1 Explorer
Hello, I have 2 Ozark Trail G1 Explorer gravel bikes and I’m currently in an apartment, so I can’t mount a bike rack to the wall. Are there any sturdy standalone bike racks where the bikes can be vertical, preferably with the rear tires on the ground?
This one is my top pick currently https://a.co/d/0gh0MFjb
Called the dealership I got my 2026 from and they said a tow hitch install would be $934, is that reasonable? I'd go aftermarket, but I don't want to have to cut holes in the frame and possibly void a warranty.
Any aftermarket option where I could save some money and not worry about altering the frame?
I only need the hitch receiver for a bike rack and possibly a spare tire mount, but mainly bike rack.
I’m a 5’8” Male with a 32” inseam, I rode a small in Walmart and it felt fine, made a post here and was told 100% to go with medium. I brought a medium home and it’s a genuine struggle to even touch my toes to the ground with the seat in its lowest position. The pedals also don’t spin the wheel, the chain looks twisted.
What am I doing wrong?
My wife and I assembled it together, but we never touched the chain.
Edit: I went to my local bike shop and got safety inspections on both bikes after exchanging the broken one, they’re both all good, they just needed some fine tuning! They did a quick test fit with me on the bike and raised my seat a quarter inch from the lowest position.
Trying to size at Walmart right now, they don’t have a medium size in the aisle, the team lead said it would be in a box in the back unassembled. I rode the small and it feels fine, but I can only test it so much going back and forth in the aisle. Where the seat sits feels a little sore after sitting on the bike for 10 minutes, but I’m not sure if that’s just because I’m not used to sitting on a bike.
I feel like I should mention I’m looking at the drop bar version.
My wife is 5’7” 33” inseam, so I’m assuming we’ll need the same size.
Do you think I could upgrade parts, or should I just get a new PC?
If I can just upgrade parts here and there, that'd be great, I need more SSD storage space, but I'm worried about compatibility issues. What can I upgrade without worrying about compatibility? Does a new GPU require a new CPU, then requiring a new Mobo?
Not sure how much this PC is worth nowadays, but I'm guessing nowhere near the $2,700 I spent on it over 4 years ago.
I have a new Subaru Crosstrek with Thule cross bars, the dealer lists that with the crossbars, the dynamic capacity is 140lbs. My wife and I are sleeping one night at Texas RenFest and need something affordable. I’d go for the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini, but it’s too much to spend on something we don’t know if we’ll enjoy doing yet.
What other options do I have for a decent affordable hardtop RTT?
I filed in December of 2024, had my C&P exam for migraines and other stuff in May of 2025. I did get approved for migraines at 10%, but that means the examiner put that I only get bad migraines once every 2 months. I get migraines every single day, and they’re debilitating at least once every 1-2 weeks to the point where I can’t open my eyes, much less get out of bed.
How do I correct this with a supplemental claim? Do I say outright in a statement that the examiner misunderstood how often I get migraines? Or do I just get a 3rd party to totally do a new DBQ? Wouldn’t the new DBQ just contradict the other one and it’d be one word against the other?
Mental health was denied with a different examiner over zoom, that examiner didn’t even bother to listen to what I had to say and never asked about any important topics when it came to mental health. I’m really frustrated, I have a consultation with a 3rd party this upcoming week to hopefully help build evidence for my supplemental claim.
I’ve also read that if you don’t see the doctor in person writing your DBQ that it could possibly be entirely dismissed and taken as fraud. I don’t know how to find a local psychologist to help me, so I’ve resorted to zoom therapy, but I don’t know if that will help me at all.
Hello, I just received my first partial rating and should be receiving my full rating in a couple of days. I know I’m going to need a supplemental claim because they got my migraine symptoms wrong, and denied mental health so I’m seeing a psychologist to get me all the evidence I’ll need to move forward.
My question is: Do I need to have all evidence ready before I go to file the supplemental claim? Or do I initiate with an intent to file and then gather all the evidence as I go?
Finally made the switch from my ‘23 GR86 10AE to a ‘26 Subaru Crosstrek Limited Hybrid, the rough ride of the GR86 was starting to be too much for my various injuries.
I love the Crosstrek, it’s a very smooth ride and it’s pretty quick for a crossover SUV due to being a hybrid, feels just as fast, but a hell of a lot smoother.
I just got a 2026 Limited Hybrid less than a week ago, and when listening to anything, I notice the front driver’s side speaker producing a high pitched ringing noise at certain frequencies.
Has anyone else had this issue? How did you/Subaru fix it?
I’m going to let them know when I get my tint redone because they messed that up on a couple windows.
The Harmon Kardon sound system is a dream, but the high pitched ringing noise from one specific speaker is the only thing wrong with mine. According to research on various forums, it shouldn’t be like that and it should be fixable. Will update when I take it in.
